Significant events

• “2024 was a very challenging year for the Company and recruitment sector more generally. The high inflation following the war in Ukraine and Covid pandemic significantly increased the cost of goods, services and labour across the UK economy.”
• “The company acquired First Recruitment Services in 2022, an established and successful recruitment business in Sussex. The brand has continued to perform well despite the challenges set-out above and is expected to grow further in 2025 and beyond.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
